Acacia auricoma, commonly known as Petermann wattle, Alumaru[1] and Nyalpilintji wattle[2] is a shrub of the genus Acacia and the subgenus Plurinerves. It is native to an area in the Northern Territory and the eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.[3]

Description

The erect sparsely branched shrub typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Convert[3] and has a straggly habit. It has terete velvety-hairy branchlets with Шаблон:Cvt long stipules and golden-coloured hairy new shoots. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen, hairy and coriaceous phyllodes have an inequilaterally elliptic shape with a length of Шаблон:Cvt and have three to five raised main nerves.[2]

Taxonomy

The species was first formally described by the botanist Bruce Maslin in 1980 as part of the work Acacia (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae): A contribution to the flora of central Australia as published in the Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. It was reclassified as Racosperma auricomum in 2003 by Leslie Pedley then transferred back to genus Acacia in 2006.[4]

Distribution

It is endemic to a small area of arid central Australia extending from around Anne Range and Bloods Range in the west to the Petermann Range in the east where it is commonly situated on quartzite scree slopes growing in skeletal soils as a part of open shrubland communities dominated by spinifex.
